Soft-tissue interposition of femoral fractures. Detection by ultrasonography during closed nailing.
We have compared the sonographic findings of six femoral fractures with soft-tissue interposition which required open reduction with those of a control group of 40 other femoral fractures. Ultrasound assessment before operation showed that the fractured end of the proximal fragment had penetrated the quadriceps muscle anteriorly while the distal fragment lay beneath it. Transverse scans showed ...
متن کاملClosed unlocked nailing for comminuted femoral fractures.
Fifty consecutive comminuted fractures of the femoral shaft were treated by closed unlocked intramedullary nailing. Twelve unstable fractures also had cast-bracing. There were no cases of infection or non-union, and satisfactory results were achieved in 38 fractures (76%). More severe comminution led to a higher incidence of unsatisfactory results, but malrotation deformity was seen more often ...
متن کاملIatrogenic fractures of the femoral neck during closed nailing of the femoral shaft.
We have reviewed our experience of four iatrogenic femoral neck fractures in 315 consecutive closed intramedullary nailings with the AO/ASIF universal femoral nail. The average neck-shaft angle in the bones that fractured was 139.3 degrees +/- 1.2 degrees SD (136 to 141); in the whole series the average neck-shaft angle was 125.3 degrees +/- 8.6 degrees and only 11 had angles of more than 135 d...
متن کاملClosed Küntscher nailing for comminuted femoral shaft fractures.
From a series of 190 consecutive fractures of the shaft of the femur treated by closed Küntscher nailing, 32 of the more severely comminuted have been studied to determine whether treatment by closed nailing was justified. Radiological criteria were used to divide them into 19 who were moderately comminuted and 13 grossly so. Twenty-four patients were less than 21 years of age and 19 patients h...
متن کاملRetrograde nailing of femoral fractures.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Retrograde nailing represents an established fixation method for fractures of the distal femur and offers in femoral shaft fractures an alternative to the existing technique of antegrade nailing. The aim of this study was to investigate in a retrospective analysis the results of retrograde nailing in distal femoral fractures and selected cases of femoral shaft fractures. Em...
